NAYA Family Center Youth Visits United Way

Last week, United Way had the great opportunity to host several students from the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA Family Center). The students are part of the Portland Multnomah Youth Corps program.

As part of Multnomah County's goal to increase graduation rates by 50%, the Portland Multnomah Youth Corps seeks to boost graduation rates by linking academic support with college and career. Youth Corps is working with local students who will receive progressively more intensive academic support and career experiences as they move toward graduation and into higher education, training, and jobs.

Business and career site visits are an integral part of the Youth Corps during the summer months, and United Way of the Columbia-Willamette is among local organizations that hosted groups of students this summer.
